The Big Horn County Commissioners approved a three-year interlocal agreement with the Hardin School District to provide a school resource officer (SRO) supplied by the sheriff's department.
A staff member presenting the contract told commissioners: "This is an interlocal agreement between Bighorn County and Hardin School District, for a school resource officer." The presenter also said, "The school district will be paying 90,000 a year for the school resource officer." Commissioners moved and approved the contract by voice vote.
The agreement was described in the meeting as a three-year term and requires coordination between the sheriff's department and the school district. No amendments or alternative funding arrangements were recorded during the discussion; commissioners approved the contract as presented and noted the sheriff's department would provide the officer.
